Butterfly Collection Review

Wow, a profit!

This is great as we took such a nasty hit with ELN.  As with the $10KX, it’s all about making a lot of little gains.  Notice how our cash runs down over the course of a month as we used it to push our callers into more premium.  When we roll to Sept, we collect money again but for now, we are poor.

I want major kudos for picking the exact price FSLR would finish on the expiration day after earnings way back on July 24th!  What a wild ride that was…  BIDU looks good, AAPL looks good and MA is also dead on.  This would have been one hell of a month if we didn’t take that damn ELN naked overnight…  Lesson learned.
